This 1974 Porsche 914 was actively used in SCCA-sanctioned competitions throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It was featured in the October 1991 issue of European Car magazine, where it served as an ITA parts development test car for Projects Racing Services at the former Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma County, California. The car was purchased in 2016 by the seller, who subsequently installed the 2.7-liter flat-six that was rebuilt in 2023 with twin-plug cylinder heads, Mahle cylinders, CP Carrilo pistons, 911E-specification camshafts, and dual 40mm PMO carburetors. Shifting is through a Type 901 five-speed manual transaxle, and additional modifications include fiberglass body components, coilover suspension, three-piece 15″ Real Racing wheels, a bolstered low-back driver’s seat, ceramic-coated headers, Koni adjustable dampers, Tarett Engineering sway bars, race puck-style clutch, a Kennedy pressure plate, a Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel, and a Guard Transmissions torque-biasing limited-slip differential. The accompanying 2015 12′ MAXX-D trailer features tandem drop axles, an electric winch, and aluminum ramps. This 914 is now offered with memorabilia and clean California titles for both the car and the trailer.

The car has been fitted with a fiberglass hood, trunk, and fender flares before being repainted yellow. 917 tribute livery decals were been applied by Vinyl Styles in Belmont, California in 2023, and additional exterior details include a body-color removable Targa top, pop-up headlights, a black front air dam, a rear spoiler, and a Ciro Racing carbon-fiber 71″ wing. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.

The three-piece 15″ Real Racing wheels have been widened to 12″ and are mounted with 295/35 Hoosier tires. Stopping power is provided by aluminum calipers paired with scalloped rotors at all four corners. The car is further equipped with Rebel S Racing 935 front suspension components with shortened front struts, coilover suspension, Koni adjustable dampers, and Tarett Engineering sway bars.

Black upholstery covers the high-back passenger seat and a bolstered low-back driver’s seat. Side impact protection bars are installed, and additional features include a drilled aluminum gas pedal, a wooden shift knob, a Simpson racing driver’s seat harness, and a Tarett Engineering sway bar stiffness controller.

The three-spoke Sparco steering wheel is wrapped in black microsuede and frames a digital tachometer, oil pressure and oil temperature readouts, and an inoperative 150-mph speedometer. Two AEM wideband air-fuel ratio gauges are mounted in the lower dashboard panel. The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles, although it does not work. Total mileage is unknown.

The 2.7-liter flat-six was sourced from a Porsche 911S and installed in 2016. An engine rebuild was reportedly completed in 2023 and features the following components:

• Twin-plug cylinder heads
• Nikasil-lined Mahle cylinders
• CP Carrillo 12.5:1 pistons
• 911E-specification camshafts
• Electromotive crank-fire ignition
• Dual 40mm PMO carburetors
• Large capacity, aluminum, 914-6-style baffled oil tank

A three-gallon fuel cell is mounted in the front trunk.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rebuilt Type 901 five-speed manual transaxle with shorter-than-standard gears and a Guard Transmissions torque-biasing limited-slip differential. The car is equipped with a custom stainless steel exhaust system and ceramic-coated headers with dual wideband air-fuel ratio sensors. The chassis was reinforced by TC Design of Campbell, California, and a race puck-style clutch, a Kennedy Stage 2 pressure plate, and a Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel were added under current ownership.

The 2015 12′ MAXX-D trailer features tandem drop axles, an electric winch, and aluminum ramps. Memorabilia will accompany the car.
